Eat 'n' Park Destroyed

The Eat 'n' Park on Penn Avenue is being demolished to make room for a senior housing complex, one example of many of construction projects going on in Pittsburgh's East End. The building looks like it was built for the ages. Notice all the steel I-beams. Amidst all the heavy brick and twisted steel, one end of the building maintains perfect composure. I'm not sure if this comes through in the photo; but if you're there in person, the juxtaposition is striking.
